Transmission failure due to known issue involving cooling fluid leaking into transmission due to faulty lines in radiator that crack at 100,000 miles. quoted $6000 repair cost, car is totaled.,
This vehicle was designed with plastic tensioner guides to the secondary timing chains. the engine is designed with an "interference" timing chain which means that if the timing chain breaks, it results in catastrophic engine failure without warning. although nissan did not design the timing chain as a maintenance item, the plastic guides wear out long after the vehicle warranty expires. although they corrected the problem in subsequent model years, they never contacted or notified the affected owners of the problem that unless these guides are replaced they will eventually result in the secondary timing chains wearing out the guides causing the secondary chains themselves to run metal on metal against the tensioners. because of this continued wear, the secondary timing chains may fail at any time the engine is on without warning and destroy the engine. nissan issued a technical service bulletin on the problem but failed to notify owners that as the vehicles approach approximately 100,000 miles or more, the secondary timing chains may fail. i have attached photos of the secondary timing chain tensioners removed from my vehicle which show the plastic guide on one nearly completely worn through, and the other one broken with ...
Takata recall radiator leaked water into the transmission and i now i need completely new transmission and radiator. this is a common issue with nissans and i am outside of the mileage and warranty. i was driving on a city street and the rpms started racing but the car was not accelerating. had to tow it in to the mechanics. my check engine light is also on and the code is for the catalytic converter.
Vehicle radiator rusted internally, therefore intermix coolant and transmission fluid. automobile constantly serviced at nissan dealers, no warning from nissan.
I was driving, and stopped for about 5 minutes at a convenent store, and when stated the car, it wont go forward as normal, lost power with no warnings and was told by mechanic that the carburetor was leaking some fluid to the transmission.
Was driving in a 55 zone in my xterra and the engine lost power outa no where. good thing no one was behind me or i woulda been killed. sounds a lot like the intelligent power distribution module (ipdm) assembly contains an engine control module (ecm) that they had problems with on this model yet my vin does not come up in the search????
We learned today through our mechanic that the rattling noise we've been hearing is associated with the "timing chains." our mechanic says the repair is very expensive. we discovered online there was a recently settled class action lawsuit on this same issue, but a recall by nissan has not been issued. what is the recourse for others who only recently learned of this problem and are now facing high repair costs?

Nissan knew about an issue with the timing chain tension system tcts even in early testing of the motor and pre-production dating back to 2004. the tcts ensures that the pistons and valves are properly timed and eliminate the coming in contact with each other or causing catastrophic failure. nissan even issued beginning in july of 2007 the tsb technical service bulletins instructs technicians to replace the faulty tcts components if there is a whining, clicking or buzzing sounds. for the actual case against nissan north america and nissan motor company here is the link to the court documents: https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/california/cacdce/2:2013cv00686/553274/166/
Timing chain. i am a member of a few forums for the nissan xterra and frontier. it is a known issue that the timing chain, the tension and guides are a issue on the 05/06 xterra and frontiers running the 4.0 v6. a class action lawsuit was filed by owners of the same year xterras but it only recognized in a few states. please investigate and deem a recall before too many more xterras blow their engines or have other issues due to a known issue, nissan has admitted they know of this issue too. below is the link to said class action lawsuit: https://topclassactions.com/lawsuit-settlements/lawsuit-news/827701-nissan-agrees-settle-timing-chain-defect-class-action-lawsuit/
Car randomly will shut off
Timing chain and tensioner needed to be replaced at a cost from the dealer of $2700. i contacted nissan usa and after waiting for two days the regional manager denied my claim and stated there was not anything nissan would do to help . though my xterra is a 2006 it only has 68207 miles and has had regular maintenance.
Whining noise from engine from worn secondary tension guide. nissan allegedly knew of problem since 2004 and withheld info from public.
Takata recall. i have a 2006 nissan xterra that i had to replace timing chains on due to tensioner guide failer. nissan has been aware of this issue for awhile and there is a class action lawsuit against nissan for this issue. the cost of the repairs is expensive and i feel that being nissan has known about this they should be responsible for the repair cost. i am further pursuing getting involved with the class acton lawsuit.
